I have been providing professional respite care for parents of special needs children for 3 years, and volunteered for over 20 years. I have CPR/First Aid certification, a current background check, I have been trained in Hospice Care, CPT, respiratory and tracheotomy care, medicine administration, special diets and nutrition. I raised a son with Duchene Muscular Dystrophy and provided Hospice and Alzheimer's care to my husband. Both are gone now, and I want to use my skills to help others. I also have an Associate degree in Elementary Education and working on finishing a bachelor's degree in English with an Education minor. I have over 5 years solid classroom experience as an ESE/EBD aide for Trainable Mentally Handicapped, Physically Impaired and Emotionally Handicapped students. I have Safe Crisis management training as well as American Sign Language for my foreign language in college.
